Boeing has spent $275 million on lobbying since 1998 and $15.1 million in 2018, a slight decrease from previous years. They spent more on lobbying in the last Congressional session than any other company in the defense aerospace industry, ahead of global aerospace defense companies Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin.
Donations from these lobbyists tend to be concentrated on members of the House and Senate Appropriations subcommittees responsible for the allocation of federal defense money, and have favored Republicans in recent years, as they controlled both sides of Congress.
In 2016, Boeing groups donated five times as much ($229,000) to presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as they did to Donald Trump ($42,500). Most polls at the time predicted a Clinton landslide.
The biggest recipient of Boeing-related campaign donations in the 2018 midterm elections was the “Senate Leadership Fund,” a political action committee that supports Republicans in the Senate. It was set up by allies of Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, and is run by McConnell’s former chief of staff.
Should we keep blaming Orange Man and forget everyone else? Forget about Congress, forget about Contractors, and forget about the average people leaning on those Boeing and Lockheed bluechips in their retirement accounts?
Why dont some of our fellow libs start the hashtag "#SellLockHeed&Boeing"
Maybe it'll trend?
Or just keep blaming Orange Man.
I dunno guys. I know Presidents exist because mindless animals just need one face of Big Brother to love or hate. A hero, a villain. Someone with a face. Ideas, or large bodies full of multiple persons and complex interconnected players, are too hard to wrap our headses around.
The complicated web of large scale politics is way over bladefd and ItsmillerTimes head.
I know this is just a waste of key strokes. None of the usual suspects will contribute to any kind of remotely intelligent discussion.
Iss aight.
